He could hear him moving… but not forward, not into his bedroom. Instead, his
steps receded back to the bathroom… the sound of the door closing behind him.
Brendon frowned deeply, his heart still pounding away within his chest. H-He had
expected him to come in… A-A part of him… h-had… wanted him to…
NO! No, that wasn’t true…!
Brendon blushed deeply and proceeded to throw the large blanket over his head to
finally completely conceal all of him. He didn’t want him to come in! He didn’t want
to see him! He most certainly had not…!!
He could hear his voice; again it was a faint murmur through the walls, and
Brendon quickly pressed both of his hands over his ears. No! He didn’t want to
hear it! He didn’t want to hear him! He was so, so, so very angry. Why had
his mother let such a bad man into the house…! Why didn’t she care at all about
his feelings…!
Brendon scrambled even more underneath his covers, pulling the sheets up from
his bed and hiding underneath them as well. Then, finally, he took his bundled
sheet within his arms and fought to get it overtop him as well. His dirty garbs fell
into his lap then… and he found himself surrounded by his own heat and Ardel’s
scent.
“No!†He complained madly, and shoved his garbs out from his bed using his feet…
kicking them out of his hidden fort until his toes were sticking out and the robes fell
off his bed and onto the carpeted floor below.
